Note: Cloudflare will need you to add several CAA records for other Certification Authorities to maintain their universal SSL process. Please adhere to the requirement outlined by the Cloudflare support email when you enable CAA. You can repeat the same steps as above to add CAA records for additional Certification Authorities.
